Adjusting the valve position (3-way valve shown below) If the valve rotates to the wrong position, adjust the switch on the back of the actuator between ON1 and ON2 positions. This will rotate the valve to the correct position. The following diagram shows the standard plumbing and valve actuator position.

Screw

Valve Handle Operation: To reposition the valve handle: Rotate the handle to the desired “OFF” position. The diverter valve handle OFF indicator, represents the current position of the valve’s internal diverter seal which will stop the flow of water. The valve handle stop-pins determine the position of the diverter valve’s internal seal to stop or allow water flow. Note: When a motorized valve actuator is installed, stop-pins are not required. Handle Stop-Pins Positions: The two movable stop-pins can be set to allow the valve handle’s position to completely stop the flow of water, regulate a limited flow, or allow the maximum flow. To set the stop-pins: Insert the stop-pins in the pin holes according to the corresponding “degree indicator” displayed on top of the handle. The stop-pin positions can be set to 180°, L90° (left-side) and R90° (right side). Repositioning of either stop-pins allows the handle to be set to any desired percentage of water flow. PORT C

System Start-Up The following information describes basic start-up procedures. For more detailed troubleshooting information, refer to the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Systems User’s Guide (P/N 522561). Before you power up the Power Center check the following:

Check Electronics Check that the following plugs are seated correctly on the Personality board: • Relay connectors - FLTR PUMP - AUX1 - AUX3 • Temperature sensors connectors WATER, SOLAR, AIR • Transformer conductor harness J1 attached to the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control Systems circuit board. • Heater control connector ELEC HTR or two-conductor screw terminal. Note: See system wiring diagram on page 31.

System Test The following describes how to test the Outdoor Control Panel to activate the heater, valves and pumps. This test assumes that all system equipment has been properly installed and connected to the Power Center. Testing Valve Actuators and Pumps Use the following steps to test the valve actuators (CVA24T) for proper rotation for PSL4 Control System (shared equipment). To test the valve actuators and pump: 1. Power up the Power Center. 2. Press the MODE button on the Outdoor Control Panel until the SERVICE is displayed on the screen. 3. Press the V (Valve) button to select POOL. 4. Press the F (Filter Pump) button to activate the filter pump. Water will be removed from the pool and returned to the pool. 5. Set both valve actuators (CVA-24T) for suction and return. Use the toggle switch on the rear of the CVA-24 to withdraw and return water from the pool.

Note: With the filter pump operating, if the water is not being removed and returned to the pool, it may be necessary to reverse the RETURN with INTAKE plugs on the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control Systems circuit board.

Testing the auxiliary relays Affix the auxiliary relay labels to the appropriate buttons on the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control Systems control panel. If necessary, write the function on the control panel.

• Toggle the filter pump, each auxiliary circuit, heater and solar and verify the function. Press the SYSTEM CONTROL button to set the system in “AUTO” mode when done.

Solar System Installation • To ensure maximum flow of water through the solar panels, a solar booster pump should be added if panels are installed at a very high elevation. • It is recommended that the solar panels are mounted in a way that gravity will allow draining whenever the filter pump is not on. • For systems with glazed panels, damage can occur from overheating if the filter pump is still running after the solar has turned off. To enable glazed panels to automatically drain whenever the solar turns off (even if the filter pump is still running), a 1/2” motorized solar drain valve should be plumbed from the solar feed line, through a check valve, to a zero psi point (such as pool fill line or jet air intake).

Solar System Start-Up 1. Switch power on to the EasyTouch® PL4/PSL4 Control Systems Power Center. 2. If pool cleaner protection has been added to the system, the pool cleaner pump motor should be activated whenever the pool cleaner timer is on. Momentarily turn pool cleaner on and off to check the motor is operating correctly. 3. Check that Solar Valve is in “solar bypass” position, diverting water away from solar panels. If Solar Valve is staged incorrectly (diverting water to the solar panels), reverse switch on back of Valve Actuator (change from ON1 to ON2, or vice-versa). The Valve Actuator will automatically rotate to the correct position. 4. Check that Solar Valve has rotated from the “solar bypass” position to the “solar” position, diverting water through the solar panels. 5. The system is now ready to be operated as desired.

Pool Cleaner Protection Recommended for use in pool systems which utilize a “booster pump” pool cleaner. This feature automatically turns off the pool cleaner pump for a few minutes whenever solar is initiated. This will protect the pump from damage caused by air in the solar panels at system start-up.

Installing the EasyTouch® PL4/PSL4 Control Systems Outdoor Control Panel BEFORE INSTALLING THE Power Center AND POWER CENTER, ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE MAIN POWER into the home at the main circuit breaker box. The EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control Systems Outdoor Control Panel installs in the top part of the Power Center enclosure. The control panel controls and distributes high voltage power to the valve actuators, control pumps, lights, and heater operations. The optional EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control Systems Indoor Control Panel, Wireless Controller, iS4 and QuickTouch® Controller also controls these and other functions, such as pool and spa lights. To install the Outdoor Control Panel: 1. Remove the Outdoor Control Panel from its packaging. 2. Unlatch the front door spring latch and open the front door. 3. Remove the two retaining screws from the High Voltage Cover Panel. Remove the panel from the enclosure. Proceed with Step 4 on next page.

Plumbing Requirements It is important that the pool and spa plumbing system be in accordance with local codes and the Recommended Hydraulic Schematics (page 36 and 37). Before starting, please review the diagrams and the following recommended guidelines: 1

The spa should be at or above the level of the pool. If the spa is attached to the pool, provide a dam between the two bodies of water to allow the spa to overflow into the pool. If the spa is not attached to the pool, an overflow, sufficient in size to carry a full pump-flow, must be installed at the water level in the spa.

2

3

Plumb a three-port Intake Valve on the suction-side of the filter pump, so that the center port of the valve is connected to the pump inlet. Connect the spa suction to one side of the Intake Valve, and the pool suction to the other side. Plumb a three-port Return Valve on the return-side of the heater, so that the return water will enter the valve through the center port. Connect the spa return to one side of Return Valve, and the pool return to the other side.

4

5

If required, install a spa makeup line (consisting of a manual gate or ball valve, for elevated spas install a check valve) to bypass the pool return line. This will enable some of the chemically-balanced water from the pool to cycle through the spa. The manual valve will allow the amount of bypass to be adjusted. If the spa is to be constructed in concrete, special provision should be made at this time for the installation of the Spa-Side remote control. Select a convenient location in the deck or above water level in the spa wall (where the Spa-Side remote will not be submerged by the spa water), and install a 6 in to 12 in length of one inch PVC pipe to provide a receptacle for the Spa-Side remote. The pipe should be level and protrude beyond the finished surface of the spa. It will be cut back later at installation time. Reduce the pipe size down to ½ in or ¾ in conduit, and run it to the proposed Load/Power Center location at the equipment pad. Use sweep elbows for turns. The Spa-Side remote will not be installed until the spa construction is completed.

8

For systems which incorporate a skimmer, it is possible to balance the amount of suction between the skimmer and main drain for maintenance purposes. This is easily accomplished by installing a manual three-port mixing valve at the suction line. Plumb one port to the skimmer and the other to the main drain. If a “non-booster pump” pressure-side pool cleaner is being used, plumb a manual threeport valve between the filter pump and filter, with the third port plumbed to the pool cleaner line, and install a motorized two-port Pool Cleaner Valve at this line. The motorized valve will automatically open whenever the Control System activates the pool cleaner. If a booster pump pool cleaner is being used, plumb the booster pump so that its suction-side is connected to the pool return, after the heater, and as close to the ground as practical.

9

Plumb the solar feed and return lines between the filter and the heater. Install a three-port valve at the feed line. Use a solar valve (model SOL-2T), to allow automatic draining of the panels.

10

A solar booster pump should be used when the distance to the panels exceed 200 ft., or the panels are elevated higher than 25 ft.

11

Glazed solar panels require a drain valve (model HW-5B) to allow draining of the panels. This prevents damage from overheating water. Install a drain valve at the solar feed line and connect to the pool fill line.

12

SCG systems only: IntelliChlor IC40 or IC20 Salt Chlorine Generator cell with check valve at the heater output. Refer to IntelliChlor Salt Chlorine Generator User’s Guide (P/N 520589) for plumbing requirements.
